Guatemala hotels by type

Guatemala Family Hotels
With its incredible culture and beautiful outdoor areas, Guatemala is a great place to travel with your family. Family hotels cater to travelers with children. The accommodations often have several beds in a room and communal spaces where the whole family can hang out. Family hotels also tend to have child-friendly activities, including swimming pools, playgrounds, games, and more.

Guatemala Luxury Hotels
Befitting their name, Guatemala’s luxury hotels offer up a true experience in comfort and indulgence. They have all kinds of high-class amenities, including gourmet restaurants, infinity swimming pools, and ultra posh spas. These hotels are gorgeous and have staff that excels at making you feel well cared-for.

Guatemala Eco-Lodges
If you’re more into landscapes than cityscapes or are simply looking to spend time outdoors, then these eco-lodges may be a good option for you. As a guest of an eco-lodge, you’ll have unparalleled access to Guatemala’s natural areas — you can fall asleep to the sound of the jungle and wake up to sunlight filtering through the leaves. Eco-lodges are usually set in remote areas, and as such offer guests everything they need to enjoy their stay, including food and onsite activities like hiking, biking, and bird watching. Meals often incorporate organic ingredients, and accommodations tend to be charming and built from local wood products.

Guatemala Cabins and Villas
While staying in a cabin or villa, travelers will enjoy a more secluded experience than traditional hotels typically offer. Cabins and villas are located in separate structures that are spread out around a hotel’s property. Paths connect the cabins to the rest of the hotel and provide guests with a distinct sense of privacy. Many of these accommodations have additional amenities that traditional rooms lack, including a fully equipped kitchen, living room, and dining room. Do note that some units are part of a duplex.

Guatemala Remote Resorts
If your idea of a good trip involves relaxing in uncrowded outdoor areas, these hotels may be right for you. Guatemala’s remote resorts are scattered across the country in lovely rural areas. Since they are generally somewhat isolated, these hotels provide travelers with everything they need to enjoy their experience, including a restaurant/bar, comfy accommodations, and tours in nearby areas. Guatemala’s remote resorts are great places to kick back, breathe deep, and really unwind.

Guatemala Sustainable Hotels
With its dense forests, vast lakes and tall mountains, Guatemala is a gorgeous place. The ecosystems here, however, are in danger of man-made threats like pollution, agriculture, and deforestation. As a visitor to this country, you may want to reduce your environmental footprint and support companies that have environmentally friendly policies. Sustainable hotels fit this description. These hotels work to create a better balance between their business and the local community well-being. They may be involved with environmental education, reforestation, and recycling programs. The hotels are usually very comfortable and offer travelers a good way to minimize their environmental impact while in Guatemala.

Guatemala Bed and Breakfasts
Staying at a bed and breakfast is extremely pleasant. The hosts are usually friendly and take great pride in making guests feel well cared for. Guatemalan B&Bs are often small and much more uniquely decorated than larger hotels. What’s more, every morning begins with a delicious homemade breakfast.

Guatemala Boutique Hotels
Guatemala’s boutique hotels offer travelers an intimate and individual experience. Boutique hotels are smaller than resorts and take great pride in providing guests with a comfortable environment. They tend to be stylish and have communal areas that encourage conversation. If they have restaurants, the food is usually high quality.

Guatemala Waterfront Hotels

There's nothing like kicking back with a drink and watching the sunset fall over a body of water — and these hotels will provide you with the opportunity to do just that. You'll also have easy access to water-based activities, including swimming, kayaking, and boating.

Guatemala Beachfront Hotels
Guatemala doesn’t have as accessible a coastline as some of its Central American neighbors. Nonetheless, there are several good beaches here and an assortment of pleasant beachfront hotels. While staying at one of these hotels, you’ll have privileged access to Guatemala’s beaches — that makes it easy to take walks along the coast, go swimming in the ocean, or enjoy a colorful sunset. These hotels are located either right along the beach or are set slightly back from the sand.

Guatemala Hilltop Hotels
Hilltop hotels are perched on hillsides that look out over Guatemala’s coasts, forests, and towns. Not surprisingly, the view from these hotels is stellar and most hotels have ample areas to kick back and enjoy the scene. Hilltop hotels are usually outside the city, so tend to have a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Guatemala Town Center Hotels
Town center hotels are conveniently located in many Guatemalan towns. As such, these hotels have easy access to restaurants, bars, shops, and other services. They’re a good bet for travelers who want to experience Guatemalan city life or who are looking for a suitable place to stay while traveling between more remote destinations.

Guatemala Midrange Hotels
Midrange hotels are a good option for many travelers. They offer solid amenities, clean rooms, and helpful service. Midrange hotels are abundant and found throughout most of Guatemala — you usually can find a hotel in this category in every destination. These hotels are good choices for travelers who want comfortable accommodations without a 5-star price tag.

Guatemala Business Hotels
Business hotels provide travelers with comfortable accommodations and convenient access to important amenities like Wi-Fi, computers, printers, fax service, dry cleaning, and more. They often have meeting spaces and conference rooms, as well as restaurants that can cater events. Business hotels are generally located in larger cities.

Guatemala has two international airports. The La Aurora International Airport (GUA), located in Guatemala City, is the largest airport in Guatemala and the one that most travelers are likely to experience. The other international airport, Mundo Maya International Airport (FRS), is located just outside the towns of Santa Elena and Flores. The hotels that are included in this category are close to the airport and make convenient places to stay before or after flying.
